Session Product Title Class Type Hours Description In this session, youll gain insight into the major design considerations for LED-based luminaries, including color rendering index (CRI), power factor correction, efficiency and thermal considerations. Youll also learn about standard drivers vs. microcontroller design approaches. Atmel Studio 6 has ushered in a new era of project portability between Atmel microcontroller families. The next-generation integrated development environment, Atmel Studio 6 allows you to develop and debug software for an AVR or ARM processorbased microcontroller. Whether you are working on an AVR (tinyAVR, megaAVR, XMEGA, AVR UC3) or ARM Cortex-M (SAM3, SAM4) device, you can use the same efficient embedded design workflow. In this session, youll learn more about the seamless migration process between 8- and 32-bit microcontrollers using Atmel Studio 6 and the Atmel Software Framework. Level
